My 3.3 month old baby diagonised with acute enterocolitis

My 3.3 month old baby started having rashes on his body 2 weeks back, doctor diagnosed it as an infection and suggested one week course of Taxim-O syrup. In next week infant started passing green stool with mucous and doctor diagnosed it as acute enterocolitis.
He is currently on Ofloxacin suspension (3 ml *2 times). He told us to keep a watch on baby's anterior fonatnelle, and we are scared. He is a normal delivery with 3.6kg weight at birth and was doing absolutely fine till 3 months of age. Currently, despite all this problems, he is chirpy, active and progressing per his infant milestones. May be its a first child syndrome to us, but would like to know--
1. If the medication for enterocolitis is correct and what connection it may have with anterior fontanelle.
2. If this is something alarming for us to improve on the care we are taking for the infant.
Thanks a ton in advance.
Anand
